The country side along the Aisne is a \ast military rabbit warren. Both Sides Determined ' Both side.* are resolutely deter mined not to give ground.

One of these papers |<ublishes an interview with the count, in which he is quoted as saying that he had not forgotten England and would prove it very soon. It is also reported, the cor respondent of the '• Express" continues, that 1 ouut Zeppelin was summoned re cently by Emperor William to Mainze. His Majesty said to the that iie relied on him for a great work and j offered to make him •commander-in- 1 chief of the German air fleet.

OCTOBER 7. 19U mm SNIPING IN FIANCE BAmE Riflemen Replaced by Batteries of Heavy- Artillery Along the Aisne and Meuse A DIMINUTION IN CASUALTIES i ... | Important Development of Fighting in France Is Reported Movement of German Army Through Belgium Toward the French Border | London, Oct. 7, 10.20 A. M.—With tiie exception of the left wing of the allied arniv, where there is reason to i believe that lively actions are being fought, the great battle front in the western arena of the war may to-day be described as a gigantic "sniping" engagement, MI which riflemen have been replaced by batteries of hifavv ar tillery masked along the heights of Aisne and the Meuse. These desultory artillery duels seem to have succeeded the desperate infantry charges with which during the early stages of the battle both sides sought to clear out the extended lines of entrenched hostile troops. Casualties Less Numerous One result of the present stage of operations has been a very appreciable diminution of the casualties. Observ- 1 ers recently at the front declare that! the allies are well content to plav this waiting game; tnev now outnumber the tiermaus, and foi this reason can give their troops rest, while the invaders i must keep their men constantly in the trenches. The most important developments of I the lighting in France is the reported' movement of a German army, sa.id to : be 20,000 stiong, southward through Belgium by way of Temple Neuve and ! Touruai in the direction of the French) border. Berlin military critics predict-1 ed recently that the allies would meet disaster if they stretched their line ; on the left wing too far, and it is be lieved here that the Germans are now seeking to crush the enveloping move ment which has been closing around (ieneral Von Kluck, the commander of) the Herman right, for the past three j weeks. Calm Prevails in Center Ihe latest official Paris communica tion ignores this movement. It de- i clares that the situation in this locality : remains the same, but admits the light ing along the left wing, north of the Oise, is becoming more and more vio lent. Calm prevails in the center, with the allies gaining a little ground in the northern part of the heights of the Meuse. Count Zeppelin is at Wilhelmsliaven, > on the North sea, where his staff is \ working day and r.ight preparing a great German air fleet, presumably for j a raid on Kugland. Following Kugland's lead in the, North sea, where she felt compelled I to imitate the German procedure of' mine-laying, France has announced a similar course in the Adriatic, where I several trading sh'.ps have been blown ! up recently by mines. 1 J^EL ' *'2ll M STREET i RUSSIANS STRIVING TO FORM !
